In Tunnel Tech, I experienced the flavor of multidisciplinary work and collaboration. Over the past three years, I have collaborated with various startups at different stages, including Oraculum, Animopus, Pivot, Brickit, and Retenly.

Additionally, I created Pre-logo, a boutique featuring almost-ready high-quality logos. Furthermore, I launched Whitespaces on ProductHunt, a table that enhances typography work with easy copy-and-paste functionality.
